Chairperson, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move on behalf of the ANC:
That the Council -
1) notes that scores of ANC Youth League supporters from various provinces started gathering at Beyers Naude Square in central Johannesburg this morning, ahead of an "economic freedom youth mass action" march;
2) further notes that the ANCYL members are expected to march from Beyers Naude Square to the Chamber of Mines in Johannesburg, the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in Sandton and then to Pretoria where a night vigil is to be held prior to a march on the Union Buildings tomorrow;
3) takes this opportunity to express its support and confidence in the ANC's commitment and tireless efforts to transform South Africa from long years of apartheid systematic neglect and its continued leadership to redress the social exclusion that many of our people suffered under apartheid and ensure that all sectors of our nation, particularly previously marginalised communities and individuals, continue to experience social advancement and that their lives change for the better; and
4) calls on the ANCYL members and leadership to ensure that all individuals taking part in this march do so with utmost discipline and restraint and that any attempts at provocateuring and using this march as a platform to pass misguided and unsolicited innuendos that are intended to bring the ANC and ANCYL in to disrepute are shunned with utter contempt and that those who seek to use this march as a platform to bring the ANCYL and the ANC into disrepute by displaying ill discipline and innuendos and uttering statements that are intended to undermine the ANC or any of its leadership are taken to task and made to face the full consequences of their actions.
